Ready or not, here they crumb. The celebrities braving the famous Bake Off tent have been revealed.
20 celebs are hoping to rise to the occasion, competing to raise money for charity and win over the judges, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
In each episode, they'll battle it out over three rounds, the signature, the technical and the showstopper challenge in a bid to be crowned star baker at the end of their episode.
Find out below who's in the running for the famous star baker apron.
Who is on Celebrity Bake Off 2024?
Swapping a sonic screwdriver for a whisk, former Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker will be aiming to create bakes that are out of this world.
In her episode, she'll be going up against singer Paloma Faith, Comedian and TikTok sensation Munya Chawawa and reality star Spencer Matthews.
Jodie said she's no good at baking: "But I'm starting to wonder if I might be slightly better than I give myself credit for.
"Just to be a complete stereotype, I'm absolutely brilliant at Yorkshire puddings!"
Stepping out from his Radio 1 studio, Greg James will compete against TV presenter Dermot O'Leary, Spice Girl Mel B and comedian Fern Brady.
Greg said he's not really a baker and added: "Who knows, I might be when the show is finished. Or I might never want to do it again.
"I don't think it really matters whether I'm a baker or not, I'm just going to have a nice time and hang out in the tent with Alison Hammond. What's nicer than that?"
Fern said: "I'm insanely competitive. I badly want to win. I was telling my boyfriend last night 'You know the prize for this is rubbish, you just get an apron that says 'Star Baker".
"He was like: 'Are you joking, Fern? You would wear that all the time around the house."'
Also among the hopefuls is former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse.
She'll go face off against broadcaster Gabby Logan, and comedians David O'Doherty and Suzi Ruffell.
Also entering the tent together will be broadcasters The Reverend Richard Coles and Sara Cox, Heartstopper star Joe Locke and TV host Adam Hills
Last but not yeast, soap star Danny Dyer will compete against comedian Rhod Gilbert, documentary maker Yinka Bokinni, and TV star Leigh Francis.
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will welcome the 20 stars to the tent later this year.
Alison previously appeared on the celebrity version of the show before joining as a host.
She said: "As someone who proved to be something of a baking genius when I baked in the tent a few years ago, I was delighted to be able to show them the ropes and where the oven doors were."
